On May 22, 2015, the band announced their first headlining world tour, called the Gravity World Tour in support of their newly released EP. The tour lasted over the span of 3 months, from August 2015 to November 2015, playing shows in various continents including North America, Asia, and Europe.

Their first studio album, In Our Bones, has been called "pop-rock perfection" at Alternative Press. Costanza talked to Alternative Press about how their major label debut felt with the studio sessions, any musical differences between their two independently made extended plays and this album, what messages they want to convey with their recording, and if there were any risky moments.
Musical style
The band has stated via an interview with Fuse that it is difficult to give themselves a genre. Lead singer Chrissy Costanza has stated that on their EP, Gravity, each song has a different type of genre, such as the song "Gravity" being more pop, "Fireproof" being more rock, and "Talk" being more pop-punk.
